Earn LIFE. Live EXTRA! That was the subject of the email I read two years ago from an unrecognizable email address. Curious although was smirking at the same time. Maybe I was quite amused really. Why I have to earn LIFE? How is it that I can live EXTRA? When I opened it. It has nothing in it to read but a link. It said "Curious? Find it out, click here". Disappointed I was. I tagged it and sent it to the spam folder. Curses to this world wide web. Full of garbage, craps, scammers and cons all over, I said.
Three days later I checked my emails. Just full of personal emails of friends from all over the sphere. Batch mates from High school, convincing me to join some social networking sites. I never had the interest posting my personal circumstances online, so the world may know. I opened my spam folders to check if there are some legitimate messages that could have been blocked by the server. There, sits still, Earn LIFE. Live EXTRA! Like I was in trance, I don't know what was with me then. I opened it and went to the link. There I was glued reading the statistics of persons. At age fifty (50), 80% of them has less than $2000 in their banks for retirement. People at age sixty five (65), 70% of them live and depend on their families and relatives. while 20% of them are on charity. and and still couldn't afford to stop working to support themselves and their family. 9.05% are still part of the workforce and can't leave their jobs. Only 0.05% are capable of sustaining themselves. I asked what is new? It has been a while since we are all at a lower standard of living than that of our parents. The latest statistics the Bureau realeased was that 95% of people at age sixty five (65) could not afford to lose, or leave their jobs. Currently, even two persons working full time at minimum wage would not be able to support a family.
Then I remembered Ambo. It was just two days ago when he paid me a visit at my house. We chatted over a cup of house-brewed coffee, instant coffee that is. I listened to him while he remenisced how he enjoyed his work then at the University. Ambo was head of Buildings and Ground Management. He retired, as policy of Government Civil Services, on his sixty fifth birthday. Suddenly I noticed sadness on Ambo's face. Then I heard him sob, a drop escaped and flowed from his teary eye. with disgust he said "I've wasted my youth, senior Eli". I have dedicated all of it to give protection and security to my love ones. Given everything to be a great provider to them and left nothing for myself. Age sixty five was the start of my dreadful life when I retired from work five years ago. Now at seventy I can no longer bare to see my love ones, my kids where I am living now burdened everyday. These pension and retirement benefits I got from social security is not enough for my medicines and maintenance. How much more for my food. Where are the fruits of my labor they say that i will be enjoying on my twilight years?
Before we start getting mushy about the state of Mang Ambo, that was two years ago. At the end of that email I received back then, leads me to another link. The last part of that article goes like this, "You have all the right to gain and earn back the years you have lost. enjoy what you have worked for and live extra. Secure not just your family's future but most importantly for yourself now. Learn and Follow our directions and procedures, click here." Which leads me yet again to another site. That my friends sounded much like a scam, does it not? Well it really must be a scam. After I've read the article I forwarded the email to Mang Ambo's email address.
What happened to my email and to Mang Ambo? The scammers did get into Mang Ambo up alright. He no longer lives with his kids. He sends them additional financial support every month. He now has his own Condo unit, a flash utility van, and health insurance is no longer an issue. He looked a lot younger the last we met two years ago. What was that email I sent to Mang Ambo back then? It was an offer to be part of the work from home online jobs. Yes there are a lot of scammers and cons out there but this one that Mang Ambo took part with earned him his life back and now not only is he living extra, he is enjoying the fruits of his labor...
